He spent most of his last cabinet reciting a delusional list of non-achievements to near-silent colleagues.įrost is almost The Convict’s equal as a fantasist. Part of him is yet to accept that the Tories have chosen to remove The Convict. The event was entitled What Do We Want from the Next Prime Minister and Frosty couldn’t seem to make up his mind between Johnson and Truss.
She really is the luckiest woman alive.Īcross the road from parliament at the Policy Exchange there were faint flickers of life from David Frost and Michael Gove. It’s going to come as a dreadful shock when he’s not offered a cabinet job. He seemed to think that his endorsement was a gamechanger. Even as he was abused, he happily burbled on about how much he adored Rish! The main purpose of his three-hour slot was to get any attention he could. It’s just a race to see who is going to do the humiliating.
Listener after listener phoned in to say how useless Door Matt was. Over on LBC, Matt Hancock was filling in for James O’Brien. But we’re at the stage of the leadership campaign where any non-story will do. Who wasn’t about to give the SNP a second referendum anyway. He knew this because he had commissioned an opinion poll that had surprisingly found he was the person most likely to beat Keir Starmer. Ready4Rish! – totally normal bloke! – merely sent out a press release saying he had heard there was a place called Scotland and he was going to make sure it stayed part of the union. Just tell the truth a bit more often and try not to be corrupt The bar for The Convict’s successor really is that low. In any case, that was one fewer vote for Penny. As foreign secretary, he fled to Afghanistan to avoid a vote on the third runway at Heathrow. To be fair, Boris knows a thing or two about thin excuses. There’s no love lost between Cat Killer and The Convict. Ellwood had a decent enough explanation, namely that he was stuck in Moldova and couldn’t get home in time, even though he had been somehow planning to fly back for further meetings. Mordaunt’s campaign took a hit when Tobias “Cat Killer” Ellwood had the whip withdrawn for not voting with the government on Monday night’s confidence vote. She didn’t seem surprised that no one in government had thought of that over the past 12 years. She also said she would build more houses. Still, it doesn’t do any harm to promise. You may have thought that many “red wall” MPs would have heard that one before. Or just by saying something, she makes it so.Įlsewhere, Penny Mordaunt was trying to kickstart her faltering campaign by promising to level up the north.
Truss seems to think you don’t have to pay for anything you want. Her newest pronouncement was that she was going to buy lots of new tanks and increase defence spending to 3% of GDP. Even she doesn’t seem to understand what she is saying. Liz is barely capable of speaking in basic sentences. She’s positioned herself as the continuity Boris candidate but seems to spend most of her time trashing the government’s economic record.Ĭontrol, alt, delete. Crossword puzzle of the day.So much so, it’s hard to know if she really is that dim or if there’s a cunning plan to destroy the Conservative party from within.
